Item Details

Title: Kalasakkaram Part 2
Description: This along with Kālaśākkaram Part 1 is a complete handwritten copy of the Kālaśākkaram. Kālaśākkaram is an astrological text that describes the positions of planetary bodies and their purported benefic and malefic influences. The text also contains an extensive list of planetary positions, which, at first glance, appears to refer to calendrical calculations. The manuscript needs to be studied in detail to understand the role of computational processes in astrological calculations.
